I was innocently using Magic Motion on a lot of photos in the video, since that's the feature in PD9 for adding movement to photos. But after asking about these flickering results on the forum, I was told to not use Magic Motion very much because of the poor results. OK--
My plan, as per advice on the forum, is to individually Produce the 50 flickering photos, so I can add motion and FX to mpegs instead of still pictures. An hour later, I have my first photo theoretically finished.
For the first time, I tried Rendering the portion of the project with that one 5 second photo/video. Over 10 minutes later, I have a rendered section.
BUT I need to know if that rendered preview is giving me an accurate picture of what it will really look like when I've burned the project to folder again. - If so, I don't think I need to pre-render all these fixed photos --right?--I was just doing that hoping to get an idea whether or not I've really fixed the previous problem.
I tried to Produce just this segment, but don't see a way of producing just the selected work area - I thought I was told on a thread that we Can Produce just segments of a project, but I'm not making that work.
So - my main questions here are if the Rendered version are an accurate preview of what the DVD will play like, and if there's a way to Produce just a segment of a project.
